Exploring
Who: Taiki and Open
Where: All through the train- garden, games, kitchen and standard have prompts but feel free to catch him anywhere.
When: Month Domino, Day 23
What: Taiki is finally well enough to get out of bed and start exploring this strange train he boarded a week ago.
Warnings:
The last week has been one of fever and sickness. Dreams of blood and death, mixed with other strange dreams that seemed to have been shared with those who travelled with him on this train.
But the fever had broken and the last couple of days he had been doing better. Able to sit up and move around his cabin. He felt bad for having caused both lord Gyousou and Wen Qing trouble, when they both should have been focused on resting and healing themselves.
Now he was a bit better he was feeling very confined. Apart from the walk from the platform to this cabin he had not seen the rest of the train where he now lived. So though he was still shakey on his feet he got dressed in the trousers and hoodie that had been in his bag and left the cabin quietly, holding onto the wall for support.
Garden
He instantly liked this place. There were no flowers, though there were a couple of suitcase-turned-plantpots that looked like things might grow eventually. It was peaceful though, even if the light from the void was strange.
He sat down on a bench, tired already despite only walking two carriages. He was better than he had been though, better than he should be, considering what he had done. He stared into the water and then closed his eyes, trying to take in the peace of this place.
Games
The next carriage along had board games and he paused to read a few of the titles. He hadn't ever really played any board games, though he had seen them being played before. He recognised a couple. He smiled at anyone he saw, not approaching but trying to be friendly. He knew enough to know that most the people here had had as little choice about being here than he had. He was still suspicious of this whole place, but so far people had not been cruel.
Kitchen
Carriage by carriage he walked on shaking legs, stopping now and then and siting down to rest. It was a long journey from one end of the train to the other and there was a lot to take in. Some of the places he half remembered from dreams, other peoples dreams. Strange to be stood in those places now.
He entered the kitchens and all at once stopped, recoiling slightly. Something was wrong. He felt ill, more ill. Blood, maybe just raw meat. He's never really noticed if that has any effect on him, his Taika shell protected his body from the worst of blood sickness on earth and in Tai he had never even been in the kitchens.
Still it was an altogether unpleasant feeling and he quickly left, gripping to the wall for support.
Standard Coach
He got through the first carriage but by the time he got back to the standard coach he had to sit down. He saw the bookshelf and forced himself to stay standing while he grabbed a book and sat at the nearest table.
It would give him an excuse to sit a while. People here might be as trapped as he and Lord Gyousou were but it didn't mean they could trust them. He stared at the book, only half reading it and then looked out into the void. What was it? How were they here? What had become of Tai?
None of those were questions he had answers to.

"Two months is a long time..."
A very long time to be stuck here. Anything could happen back in Tai in that time.
no subject
So he does notice that Taiki probably doesn't just seem to be thinking about Inigo when he speaks those latter words.
".. Are you worried?"
Taiki seems like it, but Inigo can't be sure. Taiki always seems kind of worried, after all.
no subject
What would happen? If Taiki and Lord Gyousou had just randomly disappeared from under Asen's nose then Asen would be furious. There had been so many people in the palace, what would happen to them? What about Yari? Risai?
Just thinking about it makes him want to cry. But he won't. Because tears don't help. They won't help find a way back.
no subject
Maybe Taiki's circumstances are much more dire though, judging by that dream.
But while Inigo can't be sure if they'll ever find a way back home, let alone finding one soon, but there's no way he would ever spread negativity to others. He just smiles at Taiki in a way he hopes is encouraging.
"We'll find a way back. I'll make this train ride straight to where you come from myself if I have to!" You and what army, Inigo... "I know it's hard to not worry if you're worried, but believe me, everything will turn out alright somehow."
no subject
He's not so naive to believe that Inigo can honestly make the train ride back to Tai, or even that everything would turn out alright. But something in Inigo's nature lifted his spirits. It's been a long time since anyone had told him things would turn out alright.
He nodded, not quite able to speak.
does this sound like a good place to wrap this one?
It's probably for the better to not linger on the topic for too long before he actually makes the other cry though, so..
"Come on, let's go find some place to hang out that's not anywhere near the kitchen, alright?"
yep!
"Thank you, Inigo."
